A palm vein imaging device includes a housing, a light sensitive element and an optical imaging system, at least one imaging sensor for capturing images of palm veins, and a controller, wherein the palm vein imaging device contains an infrared transmission filter and a scattering filter installed above the light emitting elements and the light emitting elements are infrared light-emitting diodes emitting light of wavelength of 850 nm and 940 nm. The technical result of the utility model is increased quality of the obtained image of palm vein vascular pattern, reducing the amount of noises and distortions while imaging and as a result increased reliability of personal identification by means of the claimed device.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A palm vein imaging device that includes a housing, at least one imaging sensor for capturing images of palm veins, an optical imaging system, light emitting elements and a controller, wherein the palm vein imaging device contains an infrared transmission filter and a scattering filter installed above the light emitting elements and the light emitting elements are infrared light-emitting diodes emitting light of wavelength of 850 nm and 940 nm, wherein the light-emitting diodes are placed around the optical imaging system so that the light-emitting diodes emitting light of wavelength of 850 nm are placed in between light-emitting diodes emitting light of wavelength of 940 nm.
2. A palm vein imaging device of claim 1 , wherein the palm vein imaging device contains eight infrared light-emitting diodes with wavelength of 850 nm and eight infrared light-emitting diodes with wavelength of 940 nm.
3. A palm vein imaging device of claim 1 , wherein the controller includes at least a central processing unit and memory.
4. A palm vein imaging device of claim 1 , wherein the infrared transmission filter at the same time is an upper case of the housing.
5. A palm vein imaging device of claim 1 , wherein the palm vein imaging device contains printed circuit boards installed horizontally in the upper and lower parts of the housing and connected together by means of connecting plugs.
6. A palm vein imaging device of claim 1 , wherein the palm vein imaging device contains a printed circuit board installed horizontally in the upper part of the housing with light emitting elements and electronic components to control the light emitting elements mounted to it.
7. A palm vein imaging device of claim 1 , wherein the palm vein imaging device contains a printed circuit board installed horizontally in the lower part of the housing with at least the at least one imaging sensor, a central processing unit and memory mounted to it.
8. A palm vein imaging device of claim 1 , wherein the palm vein imaging device has a USB interface.
